Why Skye, Why Now
For restaurant managers and hospitality leaders, relocating to Portree offers an exceptional lifestyle alongside genuine career opportunity. Set on the Isle of Skye, life here suits those who thrive on people, place, and pace; leading teams in a close-knit community while enjoying a quality of life rarely found in busy hospitality hubs. Outside of service, the island delivers space to reset: coastal walks, wild swims, and world-class hiking in the Cuillin Mountains are all part of everyday life. With a strong sense of community, a slower rhythm beyond the restaurant floor, and the chance to build meaningful relationships with guests and team alike, Portree is an ideal place for restaurant managers looking to settle, lead with purpose, and grow both professionally and personally.
